"The crossover jersey, yet to be officially announced, features a nod to the Nationals' past, incorporating the gold beveling that the franchise once used to accent their typical red, white, and blue. After six seasons (2005-2010) using the gold accents, the team dropped them completely in 2011, only temporarily bringing them back for the 2020 season in honor of winning the 2019 World Series."
"Carlson's jersey number, 74, appears not only in its usual spot on the back of the sweater but also on the front, which is common with baseball jerseys but not hockey jerseys. Across the chest of the jersey is a bold typeface "WASHINGTON," which the Nationals wore on their road jerseys for their first four seasons (2005-2008) before moving to a script font and their signature "curly W" in 2009."
"The Nationals unveiled the anniversary logo last November in preparation for their 20th season in DC after relocating from Montreal in 2005. In the logo, the Washington, DC skyline is in navy blue, including the Washington Monument and Capitol Dome, and the team's home stadium, Nationals Park, is in the foreground."
John Carlson modeled a Capitals-Nationals crossover jersey following the Washington Capitals' informal skate, with team photographer Taryn Bray capturing photos. The jersey features gold beveling previously used by the Nationals from 2005-2010 and briefly in 2020, reflecting the franchise's past accents. The design places number 74 on both the front and back and displays a bold WASHINGTON across the chest, echoing early Nationals road jerseys. The Capitals' Weagle patch sits on the left shoulder while the Nationals' 20th anniversary logo adorns the right, depicting the DC skyline and Nationals Park in the foreground.
